Combat Bonus. When a dakon attacks it does so with a +2 bonus to-hit because of its strength and sharpness of it's claws.
A shabby, intelligent ape with a reasonable grasp of the common tongue, the dakon will never attack except in self-defense or to recover treasure stolen from it.
The dakon is usually a light brown color with green eyes and black hands. It is found in all types of location except near large expanses of water. It is normally on good terms with Lawful humans and demi-humans, though it has a suspicion of the motives of other humanoids and will not communicate with them.
